How to Add Store Apps to Startup in Windows 10

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to add store apps to startup in Windows 10. In Windows 10, you can install applications from the Microsoft Store. Usually, apps will have their own options to make them start with Windows 10. For example, Spotify starts with Windows 10 and you can configure the appropriate option in its settings app. However, some apps will not have options to make it start with Windows 10. For example, if you use Windows 10 Calculator, you may want the app to automatically start with Windows 10 so that you can start using it as soon as you log in.

In these situations, you can add the Microsoft Store app to the Startup folder. This allows you to start the apps with Windows 10.
 

 

How to Add Store Apps to Startup in Windows 10
